IS YOUR AGENT TECH SAVVY AND SKILLED ON THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA?

FRESH HOME MADE BREAD 
IS THERE ANYTHING MORE WARMING AND WELCOMING THAN THE AROMA OF FRESH BREAD WAFTING THROUGH THE HOUSE?
There is something so warm and welcoming about the aroma of fresh break baking in the oven... it wafts through the whole house... 
My grandchildren love it when they walk in the door after school and smell it baking... they can't wait to have a slice fresh out of the oven.  Home made bread makes such wonderful toast.. and nothing is better than a sandwich made with fresh homemade bread.... 
It really is a must when you are enjoying a bowl of fresh homemade … (4 comments)

How do you react when a Seller asks you to reduce your commisson?
 
Do you stand your ground when you are on a listing presentation and the Sellers ask you to reduce your commission?  I'm sure we have all been in that situation....
Several years ago, I was called by a perspective client who wanted to sell his home.  I attended the listing appointment and the owner told me his home had previously been on the market but it did not sell (I already knew this as I had done my homework).  
I asked him why in his opinion he thought the house … (2 comments)

gloria valvasori experienced agent: How Shortsighed Home Owners May Be Losing By Not Hiring a Professional - 09/06/17 05:33 AM
THE VALUE WE BRING TO OUR CLIENTS
A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHY TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL
How do we demonstrate our value proposition to our clients and perspective clients? How do we show them the value we bring to the table and we earn the commission we are paid.
Here is just one example:
 
Last year a friend of mine had a neighbour who bragged to him about how he sold his home himself by listing it online.  
He was over the moon that he sold it in two days, and at the full asking price, of $675,000 and no commission!

WHY A MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL IS IMPORTANT
An important ingredient in a successful home search is knowing how much you can afford. You don’t want to fall in love with a property only to find out it’s outside your price range.
That’s why I recommend getting a Mortgage Pre-Approval. This is a document from your bank or other lender stating how much of a mortgage they are willing to give you. There are several advantages to getting this pre-approval:
THE BENEFITS OF A MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL It gives you the peace-of-mind of knowing you can afford homes you view on the market, and won’t have problems arranging … (0 comments)

Back injuries affect your every movement and I was humbled at how important our backs … (3 comments)

Selling a home is one of the most important financial decisions you will make, and working with the right realtor to market your home, is another important decision you will make to achieve the best possible benefit.

If you don’t have that option available, here are some things to consider when selecting an agent to represent you.

gloria valvasori experienced agent: Keep Detailed Notes/Texts, They Could Exonerate You In A Legal Dispute - 10/01/16 01:03 AM
I'm not sure if its my administrative background, or merely that I am a very detailed oriented person, so I always try to dot my "i's" and cross my "t's" in the event I may need to refer back to the file sometime down the road in the event of a dispute, or worse, a legal action.
These notes ( and my memory of exact details) never came in more useful than when, a few years ago I was contacted by a buyer from out of town looking to purchase something in a very specific area of town. I met with her … (0 comments)
